1. Practical packaging design and entertainment coexist
Since infancy, children's perceptual ability, cognitive activities and thinking, emotion, will and behavior activities have all been preliminarily formed and developed.

Books should attract children to read, and try not to be boring, full of fun and surprise.

2. A wide variety of printing materials
Children's books are still mainly printed on paper, in addition to fabric, plastic, wood, chemical fiber and other materials are also widely used. Paper substrates of a class is given priority to with offset paper, coated paper, light paper, because this type of paper has high smoothness, good whiteness, strong water resistance, the ink absorbency even, the image of the advantages of ability to reproduce.

Children's nature, and curiosity is the gift of children, books to attract children to read, to try not boring, full of fun and surprise.

3. The printing process varies greatly
At present, most commonly used children's books in China are printed by offset printing technology, such as ordinary story books, picture books and so on. Due to the mature process of offset printing, the printing quality is exquisite, and the image color can be perfectly restored, and the mass printing cost is low. In addition to conventional printing methods, the combination of special printing techniques and materials is also a highlight of children's books.
Some cloth book adopts thermal sublimation printing technology, printing dye is completely collected from plant flowers, stem, leaf and root of colored plants derived pigment, with special additives, dyes and fabric after printing, completely print dye content is extremely low, but the printing effect is good, and there is no fade, rub off phenomenon.
In order to exercise the baby's sense of smell, some physical objects such as flowers and plants, fruits and other books are printed with perfume ink, using screen and offset printing two processes to achieve fragrance printing.
In children's books, there is a kind of audible reading, such as reading pen higher and higher. Its principle is to be equipped with photoelectric scanning head and encoding conversion chip and F A L S H "voice" of memory card, touch with qr code at the end of the print, "voice" will sound, read the relevant content on the print. When publications are combined with the web, users with a "voice pen" can download the content they need directly from the web by uploading the audio to the site. In this way, sound, paper and network are combined in an organic way, so that print publications have a real audio-visual combination.

4. Complex and clever post-printing
Originated in Europe and the United States of pop-up books is a blend of mechanics, structural and aesthetic knowledge, using the tension of readers opened the book in an instant, in different shapes, interaction force between the parts of the structure of the paper into a variety of three-dimensional dynamic effect. Its production in addition to the printing, the technique is die cutting and manual adhesive, a more complex three-dimensional book there are as many as hundreds of die cutting parts, in the whole production process requires a lot of manual labor.
The production of children's books is also rich and varied in the aspect of opening books, some are large and small, some are small but big, some are even more than half a newspaper. Because the ratio of length to width is different, there is also the difference between horizontal and vertical.
Binding is also a highlight of children's books, most children's books are thick when using adhesive binding, thin when using riding nails, of course, many books will also show personality in this aspect, another way.

5. The higher requirement of environmental protection
Because children like to gnaw at things, so publishing houses and printing companies use more environmental materials to print children's books. Environmental printing has also become a major trend in the development of the whole printing industry. At present, some domestic printing enterprises have passed the international environmental management system certification of I S O 1 401.The core of the system is "clean production", which requires the selection of low-toxic or non-toxic, low-pollution or pollution-free materials in the printing process, as well as the creation of a clean and comfortable production environment.
In paper, because of the characteristics of light weight and low price, light paper has become a new choice for children's book printing paper. Coated with chemical paint on ordinary paper, but light paper is basically made of wood pulp, so it is more environmentally friendly. Although the color of light paper printing may be a little darker than that of copperplate printing, but its hand feel comfortable, light weight, more suitable for children to read. Besides, the price of light paper is lower than that of copperplate paper and adhesive paper.
When manufacturing print ink printing ink, the traditional mineral produce V O C volatile substances, V O C is easy oil contains volatile organic compounds and contain aromatic heterocyclic hydrocarbons, as one of the strongest carcinogens, ink manufacturing, printing, drying process or in the equipment cleaning and waste ink processing, a large number of volatile organic components, not only cause serious damage to the production operator's health, and cause great damage to the environment, the printing ink evaporation of V O C has become one of the important pollution source of environmental pollution. Books printed with chemical crude oil, such as traditional mineral oil, have strong stimulating odor, neither environmental protection nor easy decoloring. Therefore, at present a lot of books using soy ink to printing, because soy ink printing ink is a new type of green environmental protection, use 1 0 0% pure natural plant soybean oil refining, completely from natural, no stimulating smell, rubbing hands, safe non-toxic, rich colors, environmental protection and renewable. The most important thing is that even when a baby bites into a book or eats it, it has no effect on the body.
In general, children's books are made with both pictures and texts, with unique craftsmanship, which not only disseminates knowledge to children and adolescents, but also enriches their childhood life.
